This mixer is also in comthe burner-tube 10 may be and preferably is munication with an oil-supply pipe leading utilized to draw the oil or fuel from the tank from a tank 8 and provided with a controlby suction. The mixer 6, which is preferably roo ling-valve 9. The burner-tube 10 extends employed in this connection, is of the openfrom the mixer 6 into the furnace in a plane center construction,wherein branches tiu communicate with the fuel-supply tube,and hence divide the stream thereof, and again imite at an enlarged portion which is in communication with the steam-superheating coil. This construction serves to obstruct back pressure of the steam into the fuel-supply pipe 7 and cause the proper direction thereof into the burner-tube l0, besides insuring the intimate mixture of the superheated steam with the fuel by reason of the division of the stream of fuel into two branches. IIence when the mixture of steam and fuel reaches the burner tips or jets it is thoroughly mingled and the spray is in a proper condition for instant and efficient combustion.

The specific construction of burner-outlets which we prefer to use in connection with our apparatus embodies a horizon tally-spread and vertically-contracted tip 12, having an extension or tongue 12b, to which is secured the spray-pan 12, fianged at its sides, as shown at l2, and spread or enlarged horizontally from its point of attachment to the tube to its extremity. The bottom of this pan is inclined upwardly'from the burnertube to the free edge of the pan to increase the spreading effect produced upon the flame as it is'discharged, and thus insure the effi cient distribution of the heat.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having described our invention, what we claim isl. In an apparatus ot' the class described, the combination of a valved fuel-supply pipe, a steam-superheating coil, a mixer in communication with the valved fuel-supply pipe, and also in communication with said steamheating coil, a burner-tube communicating with the mixer and provided with a plurality of communicating branches, and laterallyspread burner-tips in communication with the several bran ches,the same being extended horizontally and contracted vertically toward their outlets, substantially as specified.

2. In an apparatus of the class described,

the combination of a valved steamsupply pipe, a horizontally-disposed steain-super heating coil in communication with said sup ply-pipe, a reflecting-plate located below the plane of said supcrheating-coil, and constructed to receive drippings, a mixerin communication with a valved fuel-supply pipe, and also in communication with the superheating-eoil, a burner-tube in communication with the mixer and provided with branches, located between the planes of said reflectingplate and superheating-coil, and terminating in burner-tips disposed horizontally, and an inclined deflector lt rising from said reflect ing-plate in front of the burner-tips, substantially as specified.

In an apparatus of the class described, the combination with a supei-heating-retort, conveyers for fuel and a combustion-supporting agent, and a burner-tube for-receiving the fluids after the mixture thereof, of a burner-tip having a horizontally-spread and vertically-contraeted outlet, and a spray 01' burner pan extending forwardly from the burner-tip, spread toward its free end and daterally flanged, said pan being inclined upwardly toward its free edge, sul'nstantially as specified.

4. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination with a supcrheatiiig-retort, conveyers for fuel and a comlnistion-supporting agent, and a burnertubc for receiving the :fluids after the mixture thereof, of a burner-tip of which the outlet is contracted vertically and spread horizontally, a tongue extending forwardly from the burner-tip, and a spray or bu rner pan attached to said tongue, spread laterally toward its front edge and provided with lateral flanges,.the bottom of said pan being inclined upwardly toward its free edge, substantially as specified.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own wehave hereto affixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
